David Gauntlett (born 1971) is a British sociologist and media theorist. He specialises in the study of contemporary media audiences, the everyday making and sharing of digital media, and the role of such media in self-identity and self-expression.
He is now a professor of media and communications at the university of Westminster.
Some his most famous pieces of work is the online article about web 2.0.The article argues that the traditional form of media studies teaching and research fails to recognise the changing media landscape in which the categories of 'audiences' and 'producers' blur together, and in which new research methods and approaches are needed.
